And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Wait, how do I set my bosses email protocols?
Mark Mitchell says 36 emails were sent to his office but also that a protocol had been put in place by the Police Commissioner's office to prevent him seeing them.

I'd love a journo to ask:

1. When was the protocol put in place?
2. When did Mark Mitchell become aware of the protocol?

Grifters in government
Rather telling that NZ Luxon and Upston announce $6 Million towards possible Michelin stars for Kiwi restaurants while respected Lifeline cuts Mental Health services due to $2 Million funding shortfall.

Priorities.

Lifeline to cut operations if funding shortfall not plugged
A mental health support service says it will have to reduce its operations if it cannot plug a $2 million shortfall.

Just leaving this here:

"YES. I AM A SOCIALIST AND I'M PROUD OF IT. YEAH-THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. BRING IT ON, AND I'M VERY PROUD TO SAY TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF THE WAIRARAPA THAT THEY ELECTED A PROUD SOCIALIST

Hopefully @chrishipkins.bsky.social #nzlabour will come UT with comprehensive plan
This government consistently acts in a manner suggesting it KNOWS what it is doing is either the wrong thing to do or wildly unpopular, which is why it schedules press releases in the hope that their latest travesty will fly under the radar.

The sad thing is that it largely works. #nzpol
The Govt quietly announced a loosening of climate rules at 8pm last night:
- Decoupling the ETS from Paris
- Shifting ETS resets to every 2 years
- Delaying the public sector target by 25 years
- Removing CCC advice from *before* emission reductions plans:

When I heard Dr Nick Chamberlain on #RNZ saying that the measles vaccine is not like Covid, it's a scientifically proven vaccine... I pulled over to see what his role is...

Wow, that's a strange comment to hear from the Health NZ National Director.

Tomorrow is the Fifth of November – but let’s forget Guy Fawkes and his actions against an arrogant Protestant king and instead look to our own history: the unlawful attack on Parihaka and, by extension, Māori sovereignty.

In the year to March 539 #children - some younger than 12 months - were harmed in state care (the highest number in 5 yrs). Meanwhile the coalition govt introduces legislation to further shield itself from responsibility.

So pleased this has been announced
The Nats are really quick to go on about the CGT affecting poor old Mum and Dad kiwis that have a bach or a rental, but stop before the bit where it only affects them IF THEY SELL AT A PROFIT.
And that it's only the profit taxed. Not the entire sale amount.
